Cameron Matthew Self, age 38 was called home to be with our Lord and Savior on April 26th, 2021. He was born on December 23rd, 1982 to Gordon and Joyce Self in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was raised and attended school in Flour Bluff, where he graduated in 2001. After high school, Cameron attended Texas Christian University and achieved his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, graduating in 2005. Cameron was employed by Celeros Flow Technology as their lead hydraulic engineer where he worked for 13 years.
Cameron always said that it’s not the start date or the end date of someone’s life that matters, “it’s that little dash in between.” His little dash was filled with so many friends, achievements, and laughter making memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Cameron was most notable for his quick wit and especially enjoyed challenges. He was never one to back down when the going got tough, he got tougher. He also enjoyed helping others and was a loyal friend to those in need.
Anyone who knew Cameron also knew how much he loved football and that his favorite NFL team was the Dallas Cowboys. He liked to have fun with friends by being a part of fantasy football leagues. He also enjoyed living in his downtown home in Houston, being in walking distance to the local restaurants, attending Astro’s baseball games and Rodeo concerts. He also loved fishing and being on the water, bowling, travel and having his dog by his side.
Cameron loved to tell stories and re-live his favorite memories throughout his life. He had so many adventures with friends and family that he even talked about writing a book about them. He had a passion for living to the fullest and making the most of his dash. His lasting impression will live on in our hearts, and his spirit will be with us always.
